AMSOIL has been the official oil provider for Factory Connection Racing and the GEICO Powersports/Honda racing team since 1999.  The team will once again be led in the 450 class by star rider Kevin Windham, while also featuring one of the sport’s top Lites class teams, led by defending 2008 East Coast Lites Supercross champion Trey Canard.  Joining Canard will be Dan Reardon, Blake Wharton and newcomer Brett Metcalfe.

AMSOIL is also taking over as title sponsor of Factory Connection’s amateur program, with top amateurs Eli Tomac and Justin Barcia leading the AMSOIL team in 2009.

“For the past decade, AMSOIL and Factory Connection have had a successful relationship,” said Jeremy Meyer, AMSOIL Race Program Manager.  “Not only have we been successful on the pro level, but also on the amateur program.  Factory Connection Racing has done a great job of cultivating young racers, bringing them through the lower ranks and giving them a chance to succeed on the professional level.”

“Factory Connection Racing is thrilled to continue its long-standing relationship with AMSOIL,” said team owner Jeff Majkrzak.  “AMSOIL products and the company’s support of our race team have been at the foundation of our success.  We hope to continue this relationship for many years to come.”

AMSOIL Re-Signs Bob Teague
Champion powerboat driver receives one year extension

AMSOIL and offshore racing star Bob Teague have reached an agreement on a one-year contract extension for the 2009 offshore powerboat season.

Teague and driver Paul Whittier were one of the most successful offshore powerboat teams in the world during the 2008 racing season, winning the SBI World Championship, OPA Cat Lite High Points Championship, the GEICO Triple Crown, OSS National Championship and OSS High Points Championship.  In addition to the string of championships, Team AMSOIL also set the POPRA World Speed Record in December.

“Bob Teague and Paul Whittier are the best in the business,” said Jeremy Meyer, AMSOIL Race Program Manager.  “They find a way to win every time the #77 AMSOIL boat touches the water.  AMSOIL has established itself as a winning formula in powerboat racing due to the efforts of these two men.”

Teague and Whittier will primarily race in the Off Shore Super Series in 2009 and will add events in the SBI and POPRA circuits as their schedule dictates.

“It doesn’t matter where the race is held; we’ll be there, and we’ll win,” said Teague.  “AMSOIL has been tremendous in increasing our horsepower and protecting our engines during these stressful races.  We look forward to another successful year running the #77 AMSOIL boat.”
